Question

[Khole new fish]

Hello I need help after doing a 10 % water change in my molly tank and cleaning the inside of the tank it is cloudy it has never done this not even when it was first setup.

Ammonia is not present and all water parameters are good as pero aquarium co-op testing strips, what should I do??????

It's probably a harmless bacterial bloom or some detritus on your substrate was disturbed when you added water. You can try using something like fritz clarifier or add a polishing pad to your filter if it's modular, but you might just have to wait it out.

Ok thanks

I usually add an extra water change into the schedule when I experience this. As well as adding filter floss and/or carbon.  I limit the time I use carbon though, because carbon is bad for plants.  I may just use it a day or two.

Thanks for your advice I actually had an filter and I connected it and I had an extra aquarium so I moved my blind cave tetras and left the mollies each in their own space and wow the water has cleared alot, I am using coconut fiber in one of the  filters and will be removing the small piece of carbon I used also. I will be removing the extra filter soon

@Khole new fish I combined your topics again. You placed your reply as a whole new topic. You do not need to make a new topic each time you reply. It’s confusing an no one understands what you are replying to. 
 

At the bottom of the thread you will see a reply box. That way you can continue speaking about the same issue or fish or topic and it makes sense to others because they can read the whole thing.

Regarding how much water you're changing, I just wanted to share this so you're aware of it.

I think bumblebee gobies and mollies go well together since they both prefer hard water. Some bumblebee gobies prefer brackish water and mollies are brackish tolerant, so that's an option too.

I am see that the mollies really don't let the gobies eat much they are all over any food I feed them what should I do

Bumblebee gobies can be a little particular about what they eat. They seem to like freeze dried brine shrimp and freeze dried tubifex worms in my experience. Sometimes I like to soak them in tank water and then wave them near the gobies with tweezers to entice them to eat.

I like it! That's a cool wood piece with the anubias behind it and I like the crypt garden you have going.
